A combination of strong, gusty winds, low humidity and accumulated buildup of dried-out shrubs, trees and grasses was creating ideal conditions for fires, said Eric Kurth, meteorologist in the Sacramento office of the National Weather Service.
"Fires which typically would be easily handled with what they call the initial attack are a lot more difficult to handle" in these conditions, Kurth said.
